Abstract

An advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) site survey system is provided. The AMI site survey system includes a gateway simulation equipment and a smart meter simulation equipment. The gateway simulation equipment communicates with a server via a WAN communication protocol, and communicates with the smart meter simulation equipment via a LAN communication protocol. The smart meter simulation equipment sends a piece of power simulation information, and transmits the power simulation information to the gateway simulation equipment based on the LAN communication protocol. The gateway simulation equipment transmits the power simulation information to the server based on the WAN communication protocol so that the server records a network transmission status of the transmission of the power simulation information via the WAN communication protocol and the LAN communication protocol.
